Floor-On, Ltd., operates a line that produces self-adhesive tiles. This line consists of single-machine stations and is almost b

alanced (i.e. station rates are nearly equal). A manufacturing engineer has estimated the bottleneck rate of the line to be 2,000 cases per 16-hour day and the raw process time to be 30 minutes. The line has averaged 1700 cases per day, and the cycle time has averaged 3.5 hours. What would you estimate the WIP level to be

Answer:

The correct answer is 372 cases.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Average cases per day = 1,700

Total hours in one day = 16 hour

So, Average cases per hour = 1,700 ÷ 16 = 106.25 cases

cycle time = 3.5 hours

So, we can calculate the WIP level by using following formula:

WIP = Average cases per hour × cycle time

= 106.25 × 3.5

= 372 Cases ( approx.)

Hence, the WIP level is 372 cases.

vaieri [72.5K]
The company used straight line depreciation based on number of units produced. This can be shown as follows:

Cost = $100,000
Life = 5 years or 18,000 units
Salvage value = $10,000

By straight line method;
Depreciation cost per unit = (100,000-10,000)/18,000 = $5

After producing 4,400 units, depreciation expense = 4,400*5 = $22,000.

A cereal company's cost, in thousands of dollars, is represented by the function C ( x ) = 2 x + 4500 and its revenue, in thousa
maxonik [38]

Answer:

31,500

Explanation:

Cost function, C (x) = 2 x + 4500

Revenue function, R (x) = 5 x

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

         = R(x) - C(x)

         = 5 x - [2 x + 4500]

         = 3 x - 4,500

If company sells 12,000 boxes, then profit will be:

=  3 x - 4,500

= 3(12,000) - 4,500

= 36,000 - 4,500

= 31,500

Therefore, 31,500 is the profit earn by the company by selling 12,000 boxes of cereal.

A local pizzeria sells 500 large pepperoni pizzas per week at a price of $20 each. Suppose the owner of the pizzeria tells you t
kotegsom [21]

Answer: (1) 700 pizzas

(2) Its revenue increases by $2600.

Explanation:

Given that,

price elasticity of demand for his pizza = -4

Percentage change in price = 10%

Initial Quantity,Q_{0} = 500 Pizzas

Elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{Percentage\ change\ in\ price }

-4 = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{0.1 }

\frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity } = -4 × 0.1

\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}} = 0.4

\frac{Q_{1}-500}{500} = 0.4

∴ Q_{1} = 700

Initial price, P_{0} = $20

Changed price, P_{1} = $18

Revenue at t = 0

P_{0} Q_{0} = 500 × 20 =$10000

Revenue at t = 1

P_{1} Q_{1} = 700 × 18 = $12600

Therefore, from the above calculations it was seen that his revenue increases by ($12600 - $10000)= $2600 and its sales increases to 700.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the remaining part to complete the question:

1. In transaction (a), determine the present value of the debt.

2-a. In transaction (b), what single sum amount must the company deposit on January 1,?

2-b. What is the total amount of interest revenue that will be earned?

3. In transaction (c), determine the present value of this obligation.

4-a. In transaction (d), what is the amount of each of the equal annual payments that will be paid on the note?

4-b. What is the total amount of interest expense that will be incurred?

Explanation:

a) A sum of $6,000 is to be paid at the end of each year for 7 years and the principal amount $115,000 to be paid at the end of 7th year.

PV=$6,000/(1+0.07)^1 + $6,000/(1+0.07)^2 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^3 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^4 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^5 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^6 +$6,000/(1+0.07)^7 +$115,000/(1+0.07)^7

PV=$5,607.47 + $5,240.63 + $4,897.78 + $4,577.37 + $4,277.91 + $3,998.05 + $3,736.49 + $71,616.22

PV=$103,951.92

b) Let the single sum that will grow to $490,000 at 7% interest per annum at the end of 8 years be X

FV=PV(1+i)^n

$490,000 = X(1+0.07)^8

Thus,

X= $490,000/(1.07)^8

X = $490,000/1.7182

X = $285,182

Thhus, a single sum of $285,182 needs to be deposited for 8 years at 7% interest p.a.

The total amount of interest revenue is ($490,000-$285,182) = $204,818

c) PV = $75,000/(1.07)^1 + $112,500/(1.07)^2 + 150,000/(1.07)^3

PV = $70,093.45 + $98,261.85 + $122,444.68

= $290,800

FV =$75,000*(1.07)^1 + $112,500*(1.07)^2 + 150,000*(1.07)^3

= $80,250 + $85,867 + $91,878

= $257,995

d) The cost of the machine is $170,000. Immediate cash paid $34,000. Loan Amount is ($170,000-$34,000)=$136,000

The PVA factor at 7% p.a compounded annually for 5 years is 4.1002

Thus, the PMT = 136,000/4.1002

= $33,169

Thus, the amount of each annual payment is $33,169 for 5 years.

The total amount to be paid is ($34,000+$33,169*5)

=$34,000+$165845

=$199845

The interest expense is ($199845 - $170,000)

= $29,845

Aces Inc., a manufacturer of tennis rackets, began operations this year. The company produced 6,000 rackets and sold 4,900. Each
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Refer To The attached screen shot. It contains the Income Statement Prepared under Absorption Costing.

Explanation:

Absorption Costing assumes that the Manufacturing Costs include Direct Material, Direct Labor, Variable Overhead, and Fixed Overhead. Whereas, Selling and Administrative Expenses are classified as period Costs. These period costs are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. On the other hand, the manufacturing costs are recognized when the goods on which the costs were incurred are sold. That's why we don't recognize $78,000 as a Fixed Overhead because these overhead costs were incurred to produce 6,000 rackets. We have to calculate the fixed overhead cost per unit and multiply it with the units sold.

I hope I made it clear. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me.

Thanks.
